Javier Solis continues the vision started by his father at El Cedral, a family farm in Tarrazú where his grandfather was one of the founders of Coope Dota. At an impressive 2,000 to 2,200 meters, what was once cattle land has been transformed over 13 years with 500 shade trees planted in partnership with the National Electric Company and Higueria trees to protect coffee from fog. They’re dedicated to high-quality Catuai and Geisha varieties that reflect the region’s unique terroir, with exciting plans to open a coffee shop for growing local tourism and experiment with brewing beer from coffee fruit peel. Their journey demonstrates creative, soil-first innovation in high-altitude coffee production.
